You haven't been here very long, have you?  ^_^  Syntax changes
totally slow down the spec.

You can be under whatever impression you'd like, even if it's wrong.
:/  I've explained my reasoning previously in this thread, and won't
rehash it.

I have given thought to this.  Every feature I know of so far can be
integrated cleanly into the current syntax.

I will ignore the rest of the hostility in this email.

> My answer is simple: All I would like is to get this discussed seriously in the group, not to impose my opinion; therefore I don't plan to 'object' or to make things any harder for you. Consider my feedback just like it is: a feedback. I believe no individual should ever have the possibility to use any kind of veto and, to be consistent with that, I just don't want to make use of one myself.

Your feedback was considered.  I've rejected it, Daniel has rejected
it, and for several parts the WG as a whole has rejected it.  That
happens sometimes; you can't win 'em all.  As should be apparent from
my feedback in this thread and others, I appreciate your feedback, and
would like to address some of it in a later version.

(Note that you don't have a veto - no one does, actually.  The WG can
override anyone's objection, it's just a bit of a hassle.  We have to
officially resolve on it, and then justify it to the director when we
make a transition.)
